Arthur's comments on Littlewood are interesting. I assume Gannon fits the bill as a big second row as well.

I think we saw last season what role he may have in mind for Bentley - a Victor Radley/Brandon Smith type up the middle. Or it could be that he's more in competition with O'Connor/Ackers. If Arthur thinks we need size its hard to see two of those three on the bench. We might see some very interesting reshuffling including Bentley, and I wouldn't be surprised if Cameron Smith is asked to play very differently as well, even if he keeps the 13 shirt.

Yep, good point. Not helpful at all. 

very much a mutual decision after he was told another head knock puts him at a very high risk of complications later in life. He needed to sit out last year.

It would seem Gannon deal not dead, Blease confirmed we have offered him a huge deal and just waiting on a decision from the player. So be interested to see how it goes.

Let them down gently... We did all we could, made the best offer we can, still not decided, he's gone.

Tbf if an NRL club wants any player enough then they can always financially outmuscle any SL club many times over. 


The decision for the player is, is it the right move for me at the right time?


They can back themselves to make it, coupled with financial reward, and if they do then fair play to them. 


If they go and don't make it, they pick up a nice wedge but could be warming a bench for a year or two. Doesn?t do much for their longer term stock. 


They can decide the time isn't right and hold off for a year or two, not risk free but might be the making of them. 


Choices.
